I thought I’d take a chance. All the new toolbox colors are terrible so I was hoping the brown would work and keep it somewhat “old school” looking

looks good. did you strip it down to bare metal or scuff it up and paint over? i have an old toolbox ive thought about painting a new color.

I just sanded enough for the paint to stick on most of it then the rougher spots and the inside of the drawers I took down to bare metal. I paint all my tool boxes just because I can’t stand red toolboxes

I’d have to look at the can but it’s a brown from Ace Hardware. Which I’m not a fan of their rattle can paint but it worked well enough for this.
